It may be early days still, but they do really like each other. Sam is already introducing Samie to Chelsea by showing her off on the King’s Road over the Easter weekend and given how popular he is in the area, it meant a lot that he wasn’t hiding her away.”
Neither Sam or Samie really confirmed they have been courting. On thirtieth April, Samie mentioned her relationship standing was nonetheless single. She advised The Sun: “A boyfriend would be nice eventually. No one wants to be alone. But I love being single at the same time. I love my girls”.

I am happy for him, there’s no animosity there, nothing really happened, there’s not really any tea. It is what it is. We were so busy, we couldn’t see each other really. It just fizzled out, and we agreed to just be friends.”
